Well, lets see, I've had my fox for at least 3 years, and for about 2 of those years, my car has just sat in my driveway. I did stuff to it here and there, swapping the trans to a 3550 and changing the radiator and plugs etc. and rewiring the whole car, but all in all, nothing to major, just a fun project to work on when I felt the need.
Anyways, I noticed that on rare occasions when i DO drive my car, its only pulling 7 inches of vac at idle. Not too awesome. I had my b/f bring home a smoke machine from his work, so we could see if there were any leaks in my intake (which by the cars previous owner was supposedly ported). Well, huge leaks in the intake, so I grabbed a stock one off the performance shop I usually use and went to work taking off the intake. Here are the pics of the stock one sitting next to the POS one that was on the car... no wonder I was having issues! The heads were slightly touched as well.
The people apparantly took a dremel tool and just went to town. In fact, there's even a hole that they apoxied!!!
